Introduction and Selection of Forage in Northern Fujian Red Soil Region Ⅰ.Temperate Species

Eighty-eight temperate strains were introduced to Jianyang,Fujian province.The trial of these strains was observed in way of Field Evaluation of Plant Gene Resource in Indonesia and was analyzed in PATN (Belb,1987) Software so as to research its adaptability.Four fine strains of temperate forage were selected.They were Trifolium repens cv Haifa, Triticale,Dactyls glomerata cv Porto and Eragrostis curvula cv Consol lovegrass.Triticale was a new annual fine strains with qualities of early spring,high yield,resistance to Al and to acidity.Both the grain and the plant of Triticale could be used as fine forage.Porto and Consol lovegrass showed perennial ability and characteristics of resistance to acidity,high yield and good quality.Haifa obtained the ability of over-summering and perennial.
